I am not usually one for sugary sweet and cutesy rom coms, but this one did it for me. It's such a surprise in the monster romance realm. The handful of monster romances I have read are much more on the darker side, and this is on the completely opposite side of that. Reece and Cyrus were adorable, and even though this was such a quick and short book, we see so much growth and development occur with Reece. He has trauma, which fueled a lot of his prejudices, but Cyrus really helped him learn and heal from that. Also, it's pretty spicy. This was completely new to me because I haven't read anything with tentacles before. That was an experience. Overall, this is just a fun and easy read. The cutesiness is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for this rating, which is very unlike me, but it really worked here.
